grasp things correctly and fundamentally.

Grant me the talent of being exact in my explanations and the ability to express

myself with thoroughness and charm.

Point out the beginning, direct the progress, and help in the completion.

Introduction

As a Student Teacher, I have here my portfolio as one of my requirement

in my student teaching that will provide you information all about my Practicum II in
Justice Cecilia Muñoz Palma High School, since I was started teaching up to my final
demonstration. This includes the lesson plan where I used in my final demonstration,
also pictures with my students and other matters about my teaching the experiences
that I had taken here that help me to have more strength and patience during my
teaching days in JCMPHS.

Being a student teacher is not an easy thing to do, you have to prepare
yourself in teaching students with individual differences and cope up to their
environment. Furthermore, you have also to be more patient with your naughty
students so that the learning process will be more successful and for the students to
understand what do you want them to be learning from you.

The primary role of the teacher intern is to successfully carry out the internship

assignment. The teaching internship may be viewed as a critical stage of transition from

the status of college student to the status of classroom teacher. The internship is a

privilege and therefore carries with it certain responsibilities, among which are:

1. Place school duties and responsibilities ahead of personal wishes and outside
activities. The teaching internship is a full-time responsibility.

2. Become informed about students and classes you will teach.

3. Conform to the school's rules, policies, and local standards of behavior.

4. Conduct yourself in a mature, responsible and professional manner and maintain an

appropriate personal appearance.
5. Show courtesy and respect for students, faculty, staff, parents, and members of the

community. Respect the judgment of the school supervisor.

6. Avoid partiality and favoritism toward students.

7. Place the needs of the students first.

8. Adjust to, rather than try to change, the situation in the classroom or school.

9. Plan lessons on a weekly and daily basis and submit the plans to your school

supervisor for review and recommendations prior to actual instruction. (A sample

lesson plan format is in the appendix.) Your plans should be kept in a notebook or

folder and made available to your university supervisor during each visit.

10. Be fully prepared for each class session. This will require considerable planning and

development of materials outside regular school hours.

11. Participate in all of the activities expected of your school supervisor, including

faculty meetings, team planning, professional decision-making, open houses, parent-

teacher conferences, school activities, and non-instructional duties (before, during, and

after school).

12. Be on time all the time. Never be absent from your assignment without good reason.

If you do become ill, call your school supervisor and university supervisor as early

as possible, but no later than 7:00 a.m.

13. Cooperate at all times with teachers, other staff members, and administrators.

14. Become thoroughly familiar with the Teacher Intern Assessment Instrument and

expectations for your major. Consult the Reference Guide in this handbook for

explanations and rubrics for the items on the assessment instrument

15. Complete self-evaluations and discuss them with your school and university

supervisor. Forms are provided for this purpose (see self-evaluation checklists).

Videotaping provides another means of self-assessment.

16. Accept feedback and suggestions that will aid your personal and professional

growth.

17. Demonstrate effective management of self. Don't lose your patience or self control.

18. Maintain confidentiality and avoid unfavorable criticism of the school, the school

supervisor, other teachers, the students, administration and the community.

19. Submit weekly teacher intern reports to your university supervisor. Notify your

supervisor if there are any changes.

20. Strive for personal and professional growth through continued study and effort.

Become actively involved in activities directed at the improvement of teaching and

learning, e.g., instructional team meetings, staff development workshops, and

seminars.

21. Become acquainted with professional organizations and resources available through

information technologies. Journals, publications of professional organizations, and

the internet provide up-to-date information on teaching strategies and resources.

History of PUP
The history of PUP may well parallel the nation's growth and development. As it
met the needs of a fledgling Philippine civil service under American rule forged
from anvil of Spanish colonialism, so will it serve the rising expectations of the

(School Context)
History of the School (JCMPHS)
The school was formally opened in 1988 with Mrs. Sheridan G. Evangelista of
the Social Studies Department of Lagro High School as Officer-In-Charge. Regular
classes started with 258 students and 7 regular-permanent teachers assigned by Ms.
Gutierrez, former principal of Lagro High School (Main). These teachers were Mr.
Endrico S. Anacion, Mrs. Marissa C. Macatanong, Mr. Gil Panis, Mrs. Cristina M.
Feliciano, Mrs. Flordeliza T. Ramos, Mr. Cresencio B. Juanich and Mr. Jose R. Zoleta.
Four classroom building was built at Bicol Street, Payatas through the joint effort of the
barangay officials and civic-spirited leaders of the community. Payatas Annex came into
existence as an annex of Lagro High School. Mrs. Evangelista was followed by Mrs.
Felicisima Tañedo, who served the school for only three months. Mrs. La Paz Veloria
came in next and followed by Mr. Liberato C. Garcia who managed the school for
almost four years. Then came Ms. Amelita B. Yapit who served for two and a half years.

It was during the administration of Mayor Ismael Mathay III, when the city
government constructed a three-storey building. Another one-storey building was built
facing the Mathay Hall with three classrooms until the construction was stopped by the
DPWH. In the year 1999, a four-storey building with 12 classrooms was constructed
through the generosity of former Congressman Dante V. Liban, the Division of City
Schools and DPWH. This additional building helped address the accommodation
problem of the growing population of the school.

Payatas High School is strategically located at Molave and Narra streets and the
boundary of Villa Gracia Homes.

It was on February 14, 2000, when Mrs. Violeta D. Jordan took the helm of Lagro
High School Payatas as Master Teacher/Officer-In-Charge. She continued the efforts
started by the predecessors prioritizing on the basic necessities of both the teachers
and the students by providing clean water and functional comfort rooms. It was also
during her time that Lagro High School Payatas Annex gained its independence.

With the promotion of Mrs. Violeta D. Jordan, a new MT II In-Charge in the

person of Mrs. Lydia S. Ramos was assigned. The school has seen numerous
improvements in terms of the school’s physical facilities and academic achievement in
her two years stay as an administrator.
 Ms. Juanita C. Alajar assumed principalship on October 16, 2005. Using
available resources judiciously, she improved the learning environment by landscaping
nooks and corners. The library was extended and more books and reference materials
were added. The registrar, clerk and book keeper were provided computers to facilitate
speedy preparation of report.

The Centennial Rotary Club donated water purifier. Liban and Mathay buildings
were repaired and repainted. An 18 classroom-four storey SB Hall, stage and fences
were constructed under the leadership of Honorable Feliciano Belmonte Jr.

Payatas High School was renamed Justice Cecilia Muñoz Palma HIGH School
on November 22, 2006. Justice Palma clan donated 10 brand new computers and the
rotary Club of Marikina Hills another 10, enabling the school to put up a computer room
at Belmonte Hall. Truly blessed, our school is a recipient of 21 computer units from
CICT, Office of the President. About 200 families enjoy the “Pantawid Pamilyang
Pilipino Program” in 2009.

Through proper coordination with Ateneo Pathways to Higher Education, many

poor but deserving students enjoy scholarships at prestigious universities. Those who
have graduated help the school by organizing career orientation to fourth year students
and donating books for the library.

Another 15-classroom 4 storey SB building was constructed that the big number
of students per class was lessened. Inspired by the unwavering support of the City
Government, Justice Cecilia Muñoz Palma Foundation Inc., NGOs, parents, teachers
and students, Ms. Alajar continuously improve the school.
 JUSTICE CECILIA MUÑOZ PALMA HIGH
SCHOOL

VISION

Justice Cecilia Muñoz Palma High School is an educational institution developing

well-rounded individuals for the establishment of a self-reliant and responsible
community.

MISSION

To provide relevant education for youth’s intellectual, psychological, spiritual and

environmental awareness through responsive approaches.

A. COMMUNITY PROFILE

Barangay PAYATAS got its name from Payatas Estate, a vast tract of land
covering approximate area of 5, 295 hectares. PAYATAS is

derived from the word “PAYAT sa TAAS” meaning the soil of highlands is not fertile
compared with the lowlands along Marikina River. It occupies a little less than 20% of
the city’s land area. The population was almost 125,000 as of 2003. majority of the
residents fall below the poverty level, living harsh and poor conditions in the depressed
areas. The language used is Tagalog and secondary dialects are Waray, Ilonggo,
Visaya, Bicol, Ilokano, Panggalatok and Kapampangan.
B. DEMOGRAPHY

• Payatas area has a population of 125,000 more or less 10% of the city’s 2003
estimated population.
• Average annual population growth rate for the past 10 years is 15.23%
• High growth rate is due to immigration. The continuous influx of migrants is
alarming. Estimates indicate that more than 80% of the residents are migrants.
• The female population comprises 49.66% while the male population constitutes
50.66% of the population.
• Women of the reproductive age, (15-44 years old) are 51% of the total female
population.
• The population is described a generally young.
• School age population (7-12 years old) is estimated to be 32% of the total
population.

C. HEALTH

• Crude birth rate is 35.01/1000 population.

• Crude death rate is 3.88/1000 population. Infant mortality rate is 1.86/1000.
• Leading cause of morbidity is respiratory infection, gastro-intestinal disorder, skin
disease and parasitism.
• Leading causes of mortality rate are pneumonia, myocardial infraction, PTB,
stabbing and hypertensive heart disease.
• Malnutrition is rampant among children in Lupang Pangako, Buria, Sandakot,
Asper and areas near the dumpsite. About 50% of the children are suffering from
first to third degree malnutrition.

D. HOUSING

• Roughly 60% of the residents are squatters needing decent housing. These
occupy some 700 hectares more or less excluding NGC.
• The unabated influx of squatters remains a major problem usually blamed on
squatter syndicates and prevailing issues.
• Development efforts which cover housing are often hampered by the opposition
of squatters who rely heavily on such long hand issues.
 DEVELOPMENT
ISSUES/POTENTIAL/OPPORTUNITES

PHYSICAL

• Availability of still undeveloped lands.

• Growing interest among private sector groups as businessmen and real estate

developers to participate in the development of Payatas.

• Possible application of innovative land development schemes such as Land

Readjustment, Joint Venture and Land Swapping.

• The area is viable site for the supply of land requirements in the implementation

of R.A. 7279.

 Code of Ethics for Student Teachers
A. Preamble – A student-centered perspective

Mandate:

A joint subcommittee consisting of members from two standing committees of the

Faculty of Education (Faculty of Education Ethical Review Board and Student Standing)

was created to develop a Code of Ethics for Student Teachers and to examine the ways

in which this Code will be communicated to students, faculty members and educational

partners.

Goals and rationale:

The interests of the two Standing Committees of the Faculty of Education in promoting

appropriate ethical and professional conduct have led us to develop the following Code

of Ethics for Student Teachers. This code seeks to respond to, and address the

following needs:

• The Code addresses the interdependent duties, rights and responsibilities of

student teachers, faculty members and educational partners.

• By addressing common issues and needs, the Code seeks to articulate and

make explicit ethical principles that transcend disciplinary boundaries. These

principles reflect the fundamental values that are expressed in the duties, rights

and responsibilities of all involved in Teacher Education.

• The Code requires a reasonable flexibility in the implementation of common

principles. It is designed to help those involved in Teacher Education, as a matter

 of sound ethical reasoning, to understand and respect the contexts in which they

work and accommodate the needs of others.

• The Code seeks to encourage continued reflection and thoughtful response to

ethical issues. It does not seek definitive answers to all ethical questions or

situations. Rather, it seeks to outline the guiding principles to ethical conduct and

to identify major issues which are essential to the development and

implementation of this Code.

Context of an ethics framework for student teachers

The principles and norms guiding ethical conduct are developed within an ever-evolving

complex societal context, elements of which include the need for reflective action and

ethical principles.

Education is premised on a fundamental moral commitment to advance and construct

knowledge and to ensure human understanding and respect for individual and collective

well being and integrity.

The moral imperative of respect translates into the following ethical principles that

assume a student-centred perspective as articulated in the Quebec Curriculum Reform

and Competencies outlined for Teacher Education.

B. Academic freedom and responsibilities

Teachers enjoy, and should continue to enjoy important freedoms and privileges.

However, with freedoms come responsibilities and ethical challenges. This Code of
Ethics is in keeping with the philosophy and spirit of the New Directions that are

embedded in the document Teacher Training: Orientations, Professional Competencies

(Ministère de l’Éducation 2001) and the reflective practice literature.

The role of the teacher and the contexts of teaching have changed. Thus, new

resources (knowledge, skills, attitudes) are required to practice the profession and meet

the challenges of teaching and learning in whatever contexts student teachers may find

themselves and to engage in professional development individually and with others.

C. Ethics and law

“Teaching is governed by a legal and regulatory framework” (MEQ p. 120). The law

affects and regulates the standards and norms of teaching behaviors in a variety of

ways such as respecting privacy, confidentiality, intellectual property, competence.

Human rights legislation prohibits discrimination and recognizes equal treatment as

fundamental to human dignity and well being. Teachers should respect the spirit of the

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms particularly the sections dealing with life,

liberty and the security of the person as well as those involving equality and

discrimination and the Education Act that sets out the obligations and rights of teachers.

D. Guiding ethical principles

Ethical student teachers should respect the following guiding ethical principles:

1. Respect for human dignity

 o Speaks and acts towards all students with respect and dignity; and deals

judiciously with them at all times, always mindful of their individual rights

and personal sensibilities.

o Respects the dignity and responsibilities of cooperating teachers, peers,

principals, parents and other professionals or para-professionals within the

school, school board and community.

2. Respect for vulnerable persons

o Respects and recognizes ethical obligations towards vulnerable persons.

This principle recognizes that students are in a vulnerable position and

that student teachers are in a privileged relationship with students and

their families and will always refrain from exploiting that relationship in any

form or manner.

3. Respect for confidentiality and privacy

o Respects the confidential nature of all information related to students and

their families and will share such information in an appropriate manner

only with those directly concerned with their welfare.

o Respects the confidential nature of all information related to all school

personnel and will share such information in an appropriate manner.

4. Respect for justice

o Respects and recognizes the right of individuals to be treated with fairness

and equity and the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest.

5. Respect for safety of students

 o Respects the right of individuals to expect that student teachers will

engage in practices that aim to ensure the physical, psychological and

emotional safety of students.

6. Respect for existing ethical codes and professional standards

o Respects the authority, roles and responsibilities of the cooperating

teacher and agrees to adhere to the responsibilities and obligations for

teachers as outlined in the Education Act, Faculty and University

handbooks as well as all local agreements by host school boards and

schools.

7. Balancing harm and benefits

o Acknowledges that any potentially harmful practices (eg. Science Labs

and Physical Education Activities) must be balanced with anticipated

benefits and conducted in a prudent informed manner.

Eligibility to Student Teach:

In order to be eligible to student teach, teacher candidates

must have:

• 90% of content area coursework completed with grades of C or better and no

incomplete grades outstanding.

• All prerequisite education coursework completed with grades of C or better.

• 2.75 GPA on all college coursework.

• Passing score on the State level content exam (as of January 2002). There is no

waiver of this policy AND documentation of a passing score must be received by

the Educator Licensing Program by August 1 for fall placements or by December

20 for spring placements.

Policies Regarding Student Teaching Placements

• Placement is done by Educator Licensing Program only; students are not to

negotiate their own placement with teachers or school personnel.

• Students do not student teach in a school they previously attended nor in a

school where close relatives are employed or attending. Exceptions to this are

made only by the Director of Student Teaching and/or the Director of Educator

Licensing.
• Candidates are encouraged to participate in interviews and observations prior to

final placement. Both the student and the cooperating teacher should feel

comfortable about the placement.

• Following the interview/observation, both parties should provide feedback to the

Educator Licensing Program. Once both parties agree to the placement, a

Student Teacher Placement Confirmation/Agreement is signed by the

cooperating teacher, the school administrator, and the candidate.

• The student teaching application will be sent to one school at one time for

consideration.

• The application will not be removed from the school unless the school has

determined a placement is not possible or it is determined, following an interview,

that the philosophical match between the student teacher and teacher are not

acceptable for a successful placement.

• Candidates are expected to complete their student teaching semester as defined

by the dates on the Student Teacher Placement Confirmation/Agreement. In

order to receive credit for a full semester of student teaching, the candidate must

complete the student teaching semester as defined by the dates of the signed

contract. Early completion requests will not be honored except for extenuating

circumstances as determined by the Field Placement Coordinator and the

Director of Teacher Licensure.

• During the prescribed student teaching semester, candidates are not allowed to

receive payment for work within the usual work day. Students may not receive

substitute teaching pay while receiving university credit for student teaching. [You
 cannot be both a student and a teacher within the same endorsement area at the

same time.] Student teachers do not assume extracurricular coaching

responsibilities for salary during normal classroom teaching hours.

• Student teachers are expected to conform to the Code of Ethics of the Education

Profession. Student teachers are also expected to conform to the professional

codes and standards of the host school.

• The institutional costs for field placements, including long-distance phone calls

and postage, and travel costs of the Colorado State supervisor are covered by a

special course fee attached to student teaching. By current state policy, there is

no “catchment” area designated to the School of Education, Colorado State

University. By state policy, this no longer exists with all other Colorado teacher

education programs. There are, however, three placement options (see below)

for Colorado State University teacher candidates that should be considered by

the candidate regarding fees for student teaching

Student teaching evaluations: Inaccurate,
demeaning, misused
Academe, Sep/Oct 2003 by Gray, Mary, Bergmann, Barbara R

Administrators love student teaching evaluations. Faculty need to understand the

dangers of relying on these flawed instruments.

Fifty years ago, students at Harvard University and the University of California,
Berkeley, were publishing guides rating teachers and courses. Irreverent and funny,
they featured pungent comments: "Trying to understand Professor X's lectures is like
slogging uphill through molasses," or "Dr. Y communicated very closely with the
blackboard, but I couldn't tell you what he looks like, as he never faced the class."
Unfortunately, what originated as a light-hearted dope sheet for the use of students has,
at the hands of university and college administrators, turned into an instrument of
unwarranted and unjust termination for large numbers of junior faculty and a source of
humiliation for many of their senior colleagues.

In the 1970s, schools started requiring faculty to get students to fill out and turn in
teaching evaluation forms to the administration. Administrators soon discovered they
had a weapon to use against 50 percent of the faculty: they could proclaim that the half
of the faculty with below-average scores in each and every department were bad
teachers. They have been at it ever since. When administrators say, as they often do,
"We won't tenure Professor X or give Professor Y a salary raise because he or she has
teaching evaluations that are below average," they are saying, in effect, that "below
average" means bad.

We know of one administration that heroically enlarged the proportion of no-good faculty
members to 90 percent by declaring that any junior faculty member who failed to
achieve scores in the top tenth percentile could not be promoted. But most
administrations are content to bad-mouth a mere 50 percent. (If the "average"
administrators use is the median, then exactly half of the faculty will be labeled bad. If
they use the mean, the proportion labeled bad will probably be slightly above or below
half.)

These administrators treat relative position as if it were an absolute measure of merit.

They do not allow for the possibility that some departments will have mostly good
teachers, in which case some or even all of those with below-average evaluations will
be good teachers. They also do not envision departments in which most of the teachers
are poor, in which case some or all of those with above-average evaluations may be
poor teachers. It is simply incorrect to assume that each department is half and half, or
that a whole university is half and half. A faculty member who gets ratings that are well
below average is unlikely to be a shining star of teaching, but he or she may be quite
good, valuable to the department and the students, and worthy of tenure and a decent
salary.

Administrators who would like to achieve a faculty in which everyone is above average
should move to Lake Woebegone, the only place where such a thing is possible. In
everyplace else, if all those who were below average were fired, the average would
simply rise, and about half the previously "good" teachers would then be below the new
average, miraculously reborn as "bad" teachers.

One might argue that administrations should give up using relative order, and instead fix
on some particular student evaluation score as the borderline between adequate and
inadequate teaching. That would make sense if the ratings actually measured teaching
effectiveness, but there is evidence that they do not.

Stephen J. Ceci, a professor at Cornell University, devised an experiment to see what

might affect student evaluations. He taught a developmental psychology course twice,
the first time using his customary style. The second time, he covered the same material
and used the same textbook, but made a big effort to be more exuberant, adding hand
gestures and varying the pitch of his voice. He characterized the results as
"astounding"-his ratings for the second class soared. The students even gave higher
ratings to the textbook. But little if any change occurred in the students' performance on
exams. Ceci had pleased the students more, but had conveyed the course material no
better.

In other studies, lecture content affected student achievement, but had only a negligible
impact on student ratings. In other words, the correlation between student achievement
and student ratings was low. Should we be willing to define "effectiveness" merely in
terms of student satisfaction? In judging colleagues for tenure or raises, why are
faculties so willing to trust judgments made by students in areas beyond their
competence to judge?

Students give bad evaluations to those whose accents differ from those of the students,
and to those who teach feared and despised required courses, such as statistics for
psychology majors. Daniel Hamermesh of the University of Texas found that better-
looking teachers get significantly better ratings. Research by Susan Baslow of Lafayette
College has revealed that male students gave better ratings to male professors than to
female professors, while female students did the opposite. So at least in disciplines
where the students are not predominantly of one sex, women will come out on average
with about the same ratings as men. But studies by Sheila Bennett and Anne Statham
have shown that women have to (and do) spend more effort and time than men on
nurturing behavior to get equivalent ratings

The Student-Teaching
Experience.(creating effective teaching
practices)
Article date:

DARDEN, GIBSON; SCOTT, KEVIN; DARDEN, AMANDA; WESTFALL, SARAH

The student-teaching experience is often thought to be the most important part of

teacher education programs (Cruickshank & Aramalin, 1986; Tannehill & Zakrajsek,
1988). Many teacher educators believe that preservice teachers begin to develop their
values, beliefs, and teaching skills during this experience. Henry (1989) suggests that
this may be due to:

* the fact that student teaching gives novice teachers a chance to experience an
"actual teaching setting";

* the "emotional involvement" of the student teaching experience;

* the "growth-producing" outcomes that often occur as a result of student teaching;

and

* the opportunities for "one-to-one teaching encounters" (pp. 74-75).

It has been suggested that teaching expertise is developed in distinguish able "stages"
(Bell, 1997; Siedentop & Tannehill, 2000). Within each stage, teachers demonstrate
distinct and predictable behaviors and characteristics. As when learning a new motor
skill, beginning teachers progress through similar stages of pedagogical development. It
is readily accepted that the beginning stage of learning is the most critical to motor-skill
acquisition. One might also assert that the student teaching experience is the
beginning stage of teaching development, and is thus most critical for acquiring
expertise. In fact, some researchers have suggested that beginning teachers depend
little on their undergraduate professional training to solve problems and make
instructional decisions (Good lad, Soder, & Sirotnik, 1990; Smyth, 1995). Instead, many
novice teachers rely largely on what they learned from their initial student-teaching
experience and from observations of their own teachers (Bell; Smyth).
The quality of the student-teaching experience depends on the collective efforts of
three people--the university supervisor, the cooperating teacher, and the student
teacher. Each of these individuals must be dedicated to working as a team in order to
achieve a common goal. According to Schilling (1998), supervisors of student teachers
should communicate this message up front, assuring student teachers that they are
"not alone" and that "they are members of a winning team" (p. 52). For three or four
months, the student teacher, the co-operating teacher, and the university supervisor
will need to solve problems together if their partnership is to be successful. In order to
help ensure such success, we have developed a framework of concepts and strategies
that can serve to promote and develop true "TEAMWORK" (table 1) and make the
student-teaching experience more positive and meaningful for everyone involved.

Teach the Routine

Research in preservice teacher education suggests that dealing with routines is one of
the biggest challenges facing beginning teachers (Bell, 1997; Solmon, Worthy, Lee, &
Carter, 1990). Due to the nature of the university calendar, student teachers often
arrive at their placement school after many of the rules and routines have already been
established for the students (Rhea, 1999). Thus the student teacher misses the
opportunity to observe how the cooperating teacher went about establishing the most
basic procedures for the school year.

Top 10 Tips for Student Teachers

By Melissa Kelly,

Student teachers are often placed into an awkward and stressful situation, not really
sure of their authority and sometimes not even placed with veteran teachers who are
much help. These tips can aid student teachers as they begin their first teaching
assignments. Please note: these are not suggestions for how to approach the students
but instead for how to most effectively succeed in your new teaching environment.
1. Be On Time
Punctuality is very important in the 'real world'. If you are late, you will definitely NOT
start out on the right foot with your cooperating teacher. Even worse, if you arrive after a
class has begun which you are supposed to be teaching, you are placing that teacher
and yourself in an awkward situation.
2. Dress Appropriately

As a teacher, you are a professional and you are supposed to dress accordingly. There
is nothing wrong with over dressing during your student teaching assignments. The
clothes do help lend you an air of authority, especially if you look awfully young. Further,
your dress lets the coordinating teacher know of your professionalism and dedication to
your assignment.

3. Be Flexible
Remember that the coordinating teacher has pressures placed upon them just as you
have your own pressures to deal with. If you normally teach only 3 classes and the
coordinating teacher asks that you take on extra classes one day because he has an
important meeting to attend, look at this as your chance to get even further experience
while impressing your dedication to your coordinating teacher.

Flexibility is the one the top six keys to being a successful teacher.

4. Follow the School Rules

This might seem obvious to some but it is important that you do not break school rules.
For example, if it is against the rules to chew gum in class, then do not chew it yourself.
If the campus is 'smoke-free', do not light up during your lunch period. This is definitely
not professional and would be a mark against you when it comes time for your
coordinating teacher and school to report on your abilities and actions.

In addition, follow your own classroom rules.

5. Plan Ahead
If you know you will need copies for a lesson, do not wait until the morning of the lesson
to get them completed. Many schools have procedures that MUST be followed for
copying to occur. If you fail to follow these procedures you will be stuck without copies
and will probably look unprofessional at the same time.

6. Befriend the Office Staff

This is especially important if you believe that you will be staying in the area and
possibly trying for a job at the school where you are teaching. These people's opinions
of you will have an impact on whether or not you are hired. They can also make your
time during student teaching much easier to handle. Don't underestimate their worth

7. Maintain Confidentiality
Remember that if you are taking notes about students or classroom experiences to turn
in for grades, you should either not use their names or change them to protect their
identities. You never know who you are teaching or what their relationship might be to
your instructors and coordinators.
8. Don't Gossip

It might be tempting to hang out in the teacher lounge and indulge in gossip about fellow
teachers. However, as a student teacher this would be a very risky choice. You might
say something you could regret later. You might find out information that is untrue and
clouds your judgment. You might even offend someone without realizing it. Remember,
these are teachers you could be working with again some day in the future.

9. Be Professional With Fellow Teachers

Do not interrupt other teachers' classes without an absolutely good reason. When you
are speaking with your coordinating teacher or other teachers on campus, treat them
with respect. You can learn a lot from these teachers, and they will be much more likely
to share with you if they feel that you are genuinely interested in them and their
experiences.
10. Don't Wait to the Last Minute to Call in Sick
You will probably get sick at some point during your student teaching and will need stay
home for the day. You must remember that the regular teacher will have to take over
the class during your absence. If you wait until the last minute to call in, this could leave
them in an awkward bind making them look bad to the students. Call as soon as you
believe you will not be able to make it to class.

November 30, 2010 briefer by the Department of Budget and Management and by
the Presidential Communications Development and Strategic Planning Office

Education—from basic to higher education—remains a priority of the Aquino

administration. It understands the concerns of teachers, students, and their parents, and
has proposed the 2011 Reform Budget precisely to ensure that the education sector will
receive the funds they need. The bottom line:

1. The proposed budget for the whole education sector actually increased by P31
billion. The proposed budget for basic education in particular increased by 18.5%, the
highest increase in a decade.

2. The 2011 Budget proposes a larger amount for State Universities and Colleges (
SUCs) than what they actually received for 2010.

The first bar in toto represents the 2010 appropriated budget for SUCs, including the
Congressional Insertions subjected to a conditional veto by former President Arroyo --
and were never released. The second bar represents the proposed SUC budget for
2011. The graph illustrates that the proposed 2011 budget is P2.373 billion higher than
that of the 2010 proposed budget, which was the only amount not subject to the former
President’s conditional veto.

A graph illustrating the difference between the overall education budget for 2010 (left)
and 2011 (right).

Q&A

Was the Education Budget cut?

The education budget was actually increased from 15.6% (P240.59 billion) of the
National Budget to 16.5% (P271.67 billion).

Was the budget for State Universities and Colleges (SUC) cut?

The proposed SUC budget for 2011 is P23.407 billion, or 11.3% of the total National
Budget: higher than the P21.034 billion proposed in 2010. The increase is allotted for
Personal Services (PS) to support the requirements of the Salary Standardization Law.

The P23.845 billion 2010 appropriation for SUCs in the 2010 General Appropriations
Act was not the actual budget released for 2010. At the least, P2.8 billion worth of
congressional insertions was subjected to a conditional veto by former President Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo, and was never released. The actual SUC budget released for 2010
only amounted to the 2010 proposed budget of P21.034 billion.

Why do people say the budget was cut?

As stated, the nominal figures for 2010 include congressional insertions which made the
2010 figures seem higher, but which were never disbursed as per the conditional veto of
former President Arroyo.

Another reason may have been the relatively larger basic education funding increase to
P207.3 billion, 18.5% of the 2011 budget—the highest increase in a decade. This move
was made to aid the sector of basic education, which the administration deems most in
need of public assistance [see charts below]. Furthermore, it is in accordance with
Section 2, Article XIV of the 1987 Constitution, which encourages the Government to
focus on basic education.

What is a Conditional Veto?

It is defined as a veto in which the President objects to parts of a Bill and proposes
amendments and conditions to make it acceptable.

The insertions could only have been released if the 14th Congress enacted new
revenue measures. This condition was not met.

What does this mean for SUCs?

SUCs may earn extra income through different ventures, including partnerships with the
private sector, and utilizing resources, such as land, that are available to them. The
institutions are free to manage and allocate these resources as they see fit to augment
their budget.

As stated in Higher Education Modernization Act of 1997 (Republic Act 8292), SUCs
are authorized to retain and utilize their own income. At the end of 2009, SUCs had a
total amount of P19.1 billion in cash balances. These institutions, as proposed, should
use their cash balances to fund academic programs. This is in line with the President’s
objective to make SUCs more self-reliant.

What does this mean for teachers in SUCs? The salaries and benefits of teachers are
fully covered. What does this mean for students in SUCs?

The general concern is that this might lead to tuition hikes in SUCs. The 2011 budget
was proposed as such to prevent unnecessary tuition fee increases. The whole amount
allotted to SUCs will be released unconditionally.

Students should nonetheless encourage the administrations of their respective schools

to come up with creative ways to maximize income from their existing resources to
develop their respective universities or colleges.

Narrative Report

At the first time I had taught in Justice Cecilia Muñoz Palma High School, I
was really shy and a little bit nervous because I am still adjusting myself in teaching new
students the 3rd year with the subject Electricity which I found very interesting subject to
learn were I had so much learning and been shared new knowledge in my students
since then I was teaching. In the first week of my teaching, I am still coping up in the
new environment that I was surrounded with the students and their individual
differences; I have handled 7 higher sections which I found them very active and
attentive when we have our class discussions. Even if I have not enough knowledge
and skills in Electricity I prepared myself to study well so that my students will gain more
from what I am teaching, as well as my critic teacher Mr. Gamo was also supportive and
he teach me more not only about Electricity but also in other matters like in teaching
and classroom management in that I was able to teach with more self-confidence.

I am very thankful for the opportunity to teach in this school for my preparation in
the future to be a great teacher and model to the students, sometimes I am thinking that
I don’t want to be a teacher because of my naughty students but somehow when my
students are sweet to me and they don’t want me to leave the school that is where I am
thinking that teaching is a great profession because even though sometimes you will
loss patience to them you will just realize at the moment that they will make you happy
and they understand and appreciate your teachings to them. Although, it was very
hard to teach I realize that I want to share knowledge not only to help them for their
better future but to also be a part of their journey in pursuing their dreams in life. Thank
you for being a part of my success and i will never forget the things that I had learned
here that will provide me to have a better career and life in the future.
